# 15. Releasing the Android App

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure that you have done all the things that are required for the android release.
{% endhint %}

To test the released android app, run the following command on the terminal:

```
flutter build apk --split-per-abi
```

You will get 3 apk files from the **build/app/output/apk/release** folder. You can test the **app-armeabi-v7a-release.apk** file on your android device.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you want to publish the app in the google play store, don’t upload any of the following apk files. Use an **appbundle** file which is recommended by Google
{% endhint %}

To generate an appbundle, run the following command on the terminal:

```
flutter build appbundle
```

After that, you will get a .aab file in the **build/app/output/appbundle/release** folder.

{% hint style="success" %}
Now you can upload this .aab file to the google play store.
{% endhint %}
